Al Royale
bio
Al is a veteran Dj, starting in 1992 on a mates decks in Nottingham, UK. He went on to play with House Party legends, Giddy Fruit and on the UK free party scene (doofs) through the 90s and his Djing has taken him to
USA, South America, Europe. He has had several vinyl releases and
remix projects...on his first release, Giddy Heights in '98, Al
played keyboards, sax and bongos and it was a very jazzy soulful
flavour. The sound has continued in his DJing over the years and it
can be describes as funky, organic, soulful and electronic.
Although embracing technology and mixing with his lappy Al is still
faithful to vinly and still lugs around big boxes of records to gigs.
He says playing records is a much more tactile experience, like
playing an instrument, and helps create a unique and often special
connection with the crowd.
